Khalid Mahmood (born
13 July 1961 in
Kashmir) is a
Labour Party politician in the
United Kingdom. He has been
Member of Parliament for
Birmingham Perry Barr since the
2001 general election.
He is a graduate of
UCE Birmingham and a former engineer with a trade union background. He was a
Birmingham City Councillor from 1990-1993, resigning his seat after leaving the city to work in Kuwait .
His selection for the Perry Barr seat caused controversy; the outgoing MP,
Jeff Rooker, was reported to have supported an alternative candidate, Sukhvinder Stubbs, while one of the constituency's ward associations passed a motion of no confidence in Mahmood
[1].
Though Mahmood held the seat for Labour in 2001, his share of the vote fell by 16.5%, much of which went to the Liberal Democrat candidate Jon Hunt, who ran on an 'anti-sleaze' ticket
[2]. Mahmood subsequently increased his share of the vote slightly at the 2005 election, though his majority fell by 805 votes.
Mahmood rarely rebels against the labour party and voted in agreement with
Tony Blair 93.1% of the time during the previous parliament
[3]. He has voted strongly for the introduction of national ID cards, student top-up fees, labours anti-terrorism laws and he voted very strongly against investigating the
iraq war [4].
He served as
Parliamentary Private Secretary to Home Office Minister
Tony McNulty from 10 November 2005 until 6 September 2006, when he resigned after signing a letter calling for Prime Minister Tony Blair to step down.
[5].
